[NewMusic] beech blanket necronomicon

[Matthew Goodheart]

After being obsessed with Stalker a couple weeks ago (watched it 3  
times in one week), I got interested in hunting down Artemiev's "12  
Looks at the World of Sound," and found it on an interesting  
compilation of ANS synthesizer works from Soviet Union, 1964-197. I'm  
sure a bunch of folks here know this CD- also includes pieces by  
Gubaidulina and Schnittke. Anyway, historically interesting at least.

On the film side- just finished watching Svankmajer's 2005 film  
"Lunacy." Worth watching, as all his films are, but wondering if, in  
the end, it's just a bit simplistic. On the other hand, maybe that's  
his point, as he says at the beginning of the film: "Today, art is all  
but dead anyway," and that all that is left is "a kind of trailer for  
the reflection of the face of Narcissus."
Hmmm.

Be curious as to others reactions to either work. . .
